INTELLEX RECORD The following factors affect Intellex record capacity:
CAPACITY
Record Rate — At higher record rates, the unit records more
images and uses more storage space, but the video segments are
more complete. At lower record rates, the unit records fewer
images and uses less storage space, but the video segments are
not as complete.
Activity Type (minimal, casual, moderate, intense) — Images
from cameras with intense activity require more storage than
images with casual activity.
Number of Cameras (1–8) — As the number of cameras
increases, the storage space required also increases.
Number of Alarms — As the number of alarm events increases,
the storage space required also increases.
Internal Data Storage — Each Intellex unit ships with at least 56
GB of internal data storage. Options are available for additional
internal data storage. Internal hard disk storage capacity is
summarized on the System information display from the About
Intellex screen.
External Data Storage — Total recording capacity can be
increased by installing an external data storage unit.
Image Quality (Super, Normal, Extended Record) — Higher
quality images use more storage space and shorten record
duration, but they also retain more image data. Lower quality
images use less storage space and increase record duration, but
they also retain less image data.
Sensitivity Setting (High Sensitivity, Normal Sensitivity) —
Recording images at high sensitivity uses more storage space
and shortens record duration, but it also retains small, subtle
changes between images. Recording at normal sensitivity uses
less storage space and increases record duration, but it also
ignores small, subtle changes between images.
NOTE: Since each installation is different, your unit's record
capacity may vary.
Use this section to estimate your unit's record capacity. These
estimates are based on an installation with 16 continuously
recording cameras, a record rate of 60 images per second NTSC
and 50 images per second PAL at normal sensitivity. These
